Insider: Lessons Learned from Implementing A Variable Physician Pay Model

In this MGMA Insider Podcast, we're joined by Kristen Adams, MA, CMPE, Department Administrator, Anesthesiology, Weill Cornell Medicine. As Kristen explains, a major challenge facing medical practices is developing physician compensation plans that reflect their overall strategic vision. She describes how Weill Cornell Medicine chose to move from a fixed to a variable pay model and how the team made that shift through long-term strategic planning. If you're interested in learning more on physician compensation or hearing Kristen speak live, you can join us at MGMA's Annual Conference October 13th-16th in New Orleans. Registration is now open.
